Any great movie in the old days has a red herring. Hitchcock was so good at that.

I would love to have the power to be the just eternally perfect husband so my wife would always be happy; that would take me to heaven if I could figure that one out.

I've had so much fun working on 'Shameless.'

I grew up with a dad who hated television, so we had to sneak television. It got ingrained in my head to never follow a show that religiously.

I was raised in the theater and I started acting when I was nine. To me, the idea of being an actor was about playing different characters and being a chameleon. That's why I was in the theater.

There's this great fantasy of going to work, every day, and getting to play out what people think my life is, as a successful actor.

When people come up to me and say 'I hate you' or 'I love to hate you,' it's not the usual response that I thought I would've gotten halfway into my career. And then they say, 'I love your work.'
